Good Hay.

In every article upon the subject of
how to make the dairy pay-if it is q
complete article-the item of good hay
is made conspicuous. 1t is a promi-
nent factor not only in dairying but in
stock raising generally. It is too late
to talk about good hay, however, after
the hay is in stack, or in the barn, I'M
less the hay is good, If it is good we
may talk about it and rejoice in it. If
it is not there are two things before us:
either feed poor hay or buy good.
Either course will eat into the profits.
But this is about the time that we may
think of making good hay. 1t is true
that if we have taken no pains to prop.
erly seed, we shall not be able to get
good hay, however much We may think
and however much thought may lead to
carefulness. A field filled with weeds
will not yield good crop of hay. A
field that is not growing the best vari-
cites of grasses will not produce the
the best kind of hay. But we all know
that we'll enough. With the exception
of clover, which is not grown as ex.
tensively as could be wished, we give
considerable attention to grass. At all
events if we do not, we shall know it,
without being reminded of it, and we
think we will all realize that in neglect
ing so important matter, we are not
consulting our own interests. 1t will
do no harm, however, to suggest that
the utmost care should be exercised to
keep the fields clear of weeds. They
are not nutritious and some of them
are positive injury to the COWS and
the milk
But there is sometimes very great
failure in harvesting the hay crop 1t
may be said that grass is never cut too
early. At least we never knew man
to fail in that direction. But there are
many tons of grass that are cut too late.
1t is hardly necessary to go over the
ground SO often traversed, to show how
comparatively inferior hay too ripe grass
makes; and yet there are some who
really think that some varieties of grass
at least are better when cut late, and
there are many more who practice late
cutting, without thinking much about
the subject. Now suppose all of US who
for any reason permit our grasses to
become too ripe before cutting, Just
give the matter single moment of at
tention. In tho process of growth;
grass, though very excellent and prac
teal food at almost all stages of growth,
is not possessed of complete nutritive
qualities until about the time it begins
to ripen its seed, Nevsf before and
never again will it possess such perfec-
ton 1t is then in its full strength, if
we may be allowed to use that term;
and from that time on the grass deter
iorates. Its woody fiber increases, and
the less woody fiber We have the better
the food is. This fiber is not entirely
destitute of nutritive qualities, but it is
poor food as everybody knows.

it the duty of all Druggists to recommend
it to the poor, dying consumptive, at least
to try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen bottles
were sold last year, and no one case where
it failed was reported. Such medicine as

Speaking of clover, there is no other
hay that is so excellent for feeding
dairy stock. A COW will get along very
we'll upon clover hay without any o;her
food. She should not be asked to do
it, if we desire to achieve the very best
success in the dairy, but if some cows
could have clover hay, if they bad
nothing else; they would do fifty per
cent better than they now do. The
ben fit that the land derives from the
clover crop is so great, too, that that oil
itself should make clover a favorite
crop. A the West grows older we

The Farmers Alliance.

This is the name Of powerful non
partisan political organization in the
Western States. The following article
from Western paper will give our
readers better understanding OF this
powerful farmer organization and the
purpose of its members:
The only hope of the Alliance ever
accomplishing anything for the farmer
of carrying out the objects for which
it was organized-depends on its re-
naming absolutely non partisan. To
array itself against any political party,
while it may temporarily cripple that
party will certainly destroy the Alliance
and the organization will go to pieces
amidst the triumphant explanations of
II told you so, "The farmers can't
stick together" ETC., of the chronic
grumblers. The farmer must learn
through the Alliance just what he
needs in matters of legislation and then
make his wants known at the party
primaries. The primary is the source
of all political power and yet, strange to
say, they are almost wholly neglected
by the farmers Unless the Alliance
can impress upon farmers the duty and
the necessity of attending the party
primaries and assisting in the nomina,
ton of candidates thoroughly identified
with the interest Of the farmers it will
fail to carry out its mission. The COM
ing Legislature will be the most impor-
tant one ever elected in Iowa and it
will be called upon to remedy many
crying evils in matters of transportation
and taxation. The farmers have it
within their power to prevent the nom
ination of a single candidate for legisla-
tive honors in any party who will act
as the stool pigeon of the corporations.
Our enemies hope to divide our
strength by running farmers on indie
pendent tickets, but we trust no men,
Der of the Alliance will be thus led
astray. Two years ago our work at the
primary and in nominating conventions
gave US the control of the House of
Representatives. This year we must
not onl y maintain our hold on that body
but must capture the Senate also.
This will be no light task and will
require energetic and intelligent action
on the part of every member of the
Alliance. Any independent political
movement will necessarily antagonize
the great body of conservative farmers
without whose assistance we are prac-
tically powerless. Therefore we should
not be led astray by political shysters
from the main point of attack. We
shall make up from the official records
soon short summary of the political
acts-so far as they affect the farmer
OF all candidates seeking reelection
to either branch of the legislature so
the members of the A lliance may know
to certainty who are their friends 1t
is the open boast of the politician that
the farmer is easily out generated; that
he don't know how to go at anything
of political character and is easily in
duced to ratify cut and dried nominal
tions made in some Darkroom by
small contingent of n-producers.
This year let us do our best to disprove
the assertion. Let US bring out our
truest and best farmers in each county
and rally around them at the primaries
to man.
The above contains most excellent
advice for our farmers as we'll as those
of Iowa. Let them act upon it.

who has been raised on a farm to

nothing about. The profits FROM y
